Mommy Moments: Yummy!

Sidenote: Thank you for those who have prayed for my condition. I have mentioned in my previous post that I was having again a pre-term labor and was advised for bed rest and have medications to calm my uterus as I am yet on my 31st week. Not yet due for the baby to be born. Please continue praying for me for my safe journey till my big day. !!!

It's Mommy Moments time and I decided to join not letting slip this wonderful topic which is all about the food that our kids love or something about their likes and dislikes when it comes to eating. Talking about Yummy, we moms definitely want to give the best nutrition to our children as what they eat becomes them. I mean in the totality of the wellness of our children, the food that they eat play a big part.

My three children are all picky eaters I can certainly tell so. They are not the type of kids who will crave for the feast on the table whenever we have some celebrations. They only go for those they love most. No matter how we wanted them to have a balance diet, most of the times our head aches as they never want to eat those we wanted them to eat.

My boys I have seen that they love fried chicken. Not chicken with tomato sauce, not adobo, not tinola, only fried goes with them. They love most the Jolli fried chicken. They also love hotdog and tocino and french fries. You see, it's not really recommended to let kids eat processed foods most of the time.

Jollibee Fried Chicken-my boys' all time favorite

With my daughter, sometimes we get frustrated on what to give her. She doesn't have any favorite healthy food. When we go to the mall, she is not excited of the food she can see. She is only excited with the games on the arcade and the toys she can play. She does not love anything sweet: ice cream, cakes, pies, puddings, she doesn't want any of them. She just eats for the sake of tasting and maybe because I am terrible when I get angry. He he. If her yaya is not patient enough to let her eat 3x a day, she would not eat also as long as she drinks her milk. But of course I see to it that her yaya force her to eat no matter how long it takes to finish. However, I see that she likes candies. Oh Lollies that's all she loves, and hmmm chips!!! too bad!

Candies make her day

But hey, there's one thing in common to them. I remember, all of them loves Lechon. They get excited with the crispy lechon skin. That's why most of our celebrations we always have lechon on the table.


Join us at Mommy Moments and tell us about the yummy favorites of your kids.

Having Emergency Pregnancy Condition

Hello all! So sorry if I was silent for few days now and was not able to participate in my favorite memes around the blogosphere. I am having another emergency pregnancy condition. I am on my 31st week, not yet close to having a full-term baby but I have again experienced a premature labor and contractions.

I was advised to bed rest for 7 days and have medication to calm my uterus. The pre-term labor could have been caused by my daily travel from home to work and vice-versa and stressful working conditions as I am not yet having my maternity leave.

I am a bit okay now. Continue to pray with me for a safe journey till my big day! Thanks and please continue to visit here.

Couple's Corner: A seal in Thy Heart

This is finally the day we have to tell about the day "We say I do" in Couple's Corner.

You can play the video at the bottom of the post ( It's actually a melody of the Song of Solomon) while reading my story.

Song of Solomon 8:6-7
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.

Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

Marriage for me is setting a seal in each other's heart that both of you belong to each other. It is the utmost declaration of love before the Lord and before men. Though two hearts may have gone rough roads and highways, still they would be home in each other's arm for Love never falls away.

That day when he spoke of His ultimate love proposal for me, I realized that God has answered my earnest prayer. My happiness could not be contend that time already. However, as His family was against the tides, they dejected the idea of their son getting married to me.

But still the Lord has a way of arranging our lives together. I have the blessing from my own family and that was more important for me. My official marriage was never a fancy one. I have always dreamed of marching down the aisle with my white wedding dress and flowers all around. But in my real marriage day, I was the simplest bride wearing my simple Sunday dress, no marching down an aisle with beautiful blue flowers and no fancy ladies and children showering petals on the pathways. All was a mere simplicity. Nevertheless, the happiness was more than that of the ones who has been married in grandeur. I have been finally home and be at rest in my man's heart. He is the one who made my life complete and I am the satisfaction of his heart. Although the setting was so simple with only a few of my family and friends and his family never there , it was a bliss occasion for us.

My cousins and my best friend signed as witnesses on the contract. We thought it was not necessary to have so many as long as we have real and supportive ones. The officiating official was a lady Judge. There were no singing like in your marriage maybe , but I know the angels sang for us. I believe that our marriage was carefully and beautifully arranged by the Lord even before the foundation of the world. He led me to a dark situation to be ushered to the presence of my husband. I could have not met Zel if I was not placed into a downfall condition on the past. The Lord is really sovereign enough. It's always right to believe that behind the storms in our lives, the sun would always shine on the morrow.

We exchange our vows as prayers and praises and wore our wedding bands. The Officiating Official pronounced us as " MAN AND WIFE", the seal has been placed. Nothing and no one could break it except death. We kissed the sweetest kiss and I remembered I shed tears of gladness and contentment. Love is really the excellent way!

It was SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 when we sealed our love finally to the Lord and to all men, till death do us part.

Tuesday eManna: Being Crucified with Christ

I have random posts every Tuesday, posting only what comes into mind. However, after the reflections on the happenings of our today's environment, I decided that I would post my reflections on the word of the Lord every Tuesday of the Week. To make this a double digest, I decided to make this a meme and would call it , "Tuesday eManna". To know what is Manna , know it here.

eManna for today:

I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
Gal. 2:20

Our inner eyes have to be opened. When Christ was crucified on the cross, God put our sins on Christ and crucified them on the cross. This is God's side of the work. Christ died for us and took our sins away. This occurred more than nineteen hundred years ago, and we believe it. Similarly, when Christ was crucified, God put us into Christ. Just as our sins were settled more than nineteen hundred years ago, our person was also dealt with at the same time. On the cross our sins were removed. On the cross our person was also dealt with. We must remember Romans 6:6: “Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him.” We do not have to hope to be crucified with Christ. We have been crucified with Him, forever and unchangeably crucified with Him. God has put us into Christ. When Christ died on the cross, we died on the cross as well.

If you take a piece of paper, write a few letters on it, and then tear the paper apart, you tear the letters apart as well. You are tearing the paper, but as the paper is torn, the letters are torn. He died that He might “taste death on behalf of everything“ (Heb. 2:9). The whole old creation passed away with Him. You have been trying in vain to do good and to be a successful Christian for years. Now God has crucified you with Christ.

You have to believe in this truth. Your eyes need to be open to see that your sins were upon Christ and your person was also upon Christ. Your sins were on the cross, and your person was also on the cross. Your sins were taken away, and your person was also crucified. All this has been accomplished by Christ. Many people fail because they keep looking at themselves. Those who have faith should look at the cross and see what Christ has accomplished. God placed me in Christ. When Christ died, I also died!

New Header and Bagde for Mi Mundo Del Amor

Yes, I have a new header ! I decided to change it to add personal touch. This template is a freebie at Template Mama, thus everything is pre-made. I made it myself though I am not a pro when it comes to making header and tweaking themes. I felt good at the finish product though it might not be as good as yours. I hope you would still find it acceptable.

For those who are not familiar with my old header. It was as below.



Oh , I have a new badge too for you to grab in exchange of yours.

So what do you think? I hope you like it. =)

No Pointing Fingers

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than
you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.
